While the rest of us will be well into summer by graduation, one program will still be slaving away. In the basement of Sheri-dan’s Trafalgar Campus they work tirelessly creating the unbeliev-able. They mould, cast, sculpt, cre-ate monsters, craft lightsabers and make animatronic puppets. They bring their imaginations to life.

The program is Sheridan’s prestigious Advanced Special Ef-fects, Make Ups, Prosthetics and Props – the only one of its kind in Ontario.

The three-semester program prepares about 30 students for work in various industries that uti-lize their unique skills. That could include the entertainment indus-try, museums, amusement parks or even exhibitors.

On April 14, students show-cased their work in their annual monster walk.

Since the begin-ning of the winter semester, the stu-dents were de-signing their own monstrous cre-ations knowing that on this day they’d bring these marvels to life.

Arriving at 8 a.m., the groups worked tirelessly ap-plying their demonic designs. Four hours in, many were just now adding finishing touches, their models and fellow classmates showing the patience and fortitude of saints.

One such group, aptly named Team Trevor, made up of Stephanie Collins, Whitney Collins, Kevin Morra, Trevor Novak and Amber Prasasto, created an alien zombie.

With a brain-sucking alien attached to the top of the head (covering about half of the face) and a gro-tesque tentacle dan-gling to the floor, the fiend turned more than a few heads as it prowled the Sheridan campus.

President Dr. Jeff Zabudsky stopped by in the morn-ing as the effects were being applied to their models and was all smiles.

“I need a new look. Trying to pick the best look here,” joked Zabudsky, before he toured the various groups and their ghoulish handiwork.

Stopping at Team Trevor, which was painting and apply-ing various wounds and gashes, Zabudsky asked “How’s that feel on your head?”

After a moment, Trevor No-vak, the model and ironically de-signer and sculptor of the undead extraterrestrial headpiece, replied.

“Uncomfortable.”Before leaving, Zabudsky

wished the rest of the students luck. “I’ll have to try and make this a regular stop. I’ll try to stay out of the way, I promise.”

Team Trevor meanwhile took to the halls and proudly brought their hellion up from the base-ment.

After taking pictures for their portfolios and spooking Sheridan stu-dents, it was finally time to take off the night-marish construction.

Of course, the question came again,

and this time, Novak was better prepared.

“How’s that feel on your head?”

“It feels like a real alien is suck-

ing out my brain.”
